Nice thing

This evening before dinner, we had a nice moment. We were sitting inside and feeling a bit stir crazy. The day had been made up of getting papers moved from one place to another in the interest of getting our air freight out of customs, as well as preparing for our registration at the Foreigners' Registration Office (tomorrow). It was a fragmented day followed by a lack of options (it appears the painters damaged our cable TV, which is mostly in a language we don't understand anyway).

We were sitting there and Tara asked Liam and Jonah where Aidan was. They said "out front". So we went to see what he was up to.

He was playing catch with the daughter of our servants, throwing the ball to her by bouncing it off of his head. She is extremely cute and appears to be about five. She laughed at everything that he did, a real chuckle of delight. She probably has been bored with not having any other kids to play with, and I sense she is ushered away from us often (I had never seen her before tonight).

It was a special moment. Only Aidan could have pulled it off.

We sat out there for a while. We all smiled, all of the expats and our "help" having a relaxing moment watching youthful glee. It was heart-lifting.
